| Abstract: | A 51-year-old woman became blind from involvement of both occipital lobes with a confluent lesion demonstrated by computed tomographic scan. Biopsy showed demyelination consistent with Schilder's 1912 variant of diffuse sclerosis. No cytoplasmic inclusions were found on electron microscopy. |
